When Arabel's father brings home an injured raven, her world is turned upside down. The mischievous bird, Mortimer, devours everything, squawks "Nevermore!" on the phone, and creates chaos. Yet, Arabel adores her feathered friend. As Mortimer's antics unfold, will Arabel manage the mayhem or be swept away by the chaos? Dive into their hilarious adventures and discover the unexpected bond between a girl and her unruly pet.

From the publisher

Young Arabel’s life is changed forever when her father, a taxi driver, brings home an injured bird he finds in the street. This wacky raven eats everything in sight, answers the telephone by squawking “Nevermore!” and causes chaos wherever he goes–but Arabel loves her new feathered friend, whom she names Mortimer. This is the first volume of Arabel and Mortimer’s adventures, brightened with hilarious illustrations by Quentin Blake.
